Students at Beechwood Elementary School were dismissed early Friday because of a water problem at the school.

Vicksburg Warren School District spokesperson Christi Kilroy said the school was without water, forcing school officials to call parents to come get their children a few minutes earlier than the 12:25 p.m. early dismissal for the Christmas holidays.
